Another reminder if you want to stay working in any industry, don’t say things you will regret down the line, i do believe in freedom of expression but sometimes if you can’t say anything, keep your mouth shut, of course common sense died out decades ago.

It was racist. I’m glad that I stopped reading his comic strip over a decade and a half ago. I swear the pandemic really helped reveal the true nature of quite a few well known people. I’m glad it did.

Well ScottAdamsSays exposed anti-1st Amendment Media. I'd like someone, anyone to expose the racism bi-racial children have had to endure. Reading these hits on Adams, I'm thinking Scott may take down mainstream media. Go alternative now. elonmusk

Bruce it's not a 'racial rant', it's a racist rant.

Besides the wave of black on white crime lately, the BLM movement really strained racial relations with me, the Left has been conditioning blacks to be a problem for the whitey for decades, everybody that thinks Scott is racist for being afraid is just an anti-white Leftist

It shouldn't have taken scottadams hateful remarks and toxic personality to cancel Dilbert. It should be the fact that Dilbert has been hacky and painfully unfunny for decades.

“Racial” remarks? You need to correct that with “Racist.”

Instead of providing any context to the comment, the article provides only seven words, and a summary of what (they believe) he was saying. But sure, let's all just assume they got it right and that these seven words weren't part of any larger point being made. pitchfork

This strip is still around

Good riddance!

Long overdue.

Dilbert hasnt been relevant for decades It’s corporate culture for boomers, esp older white guys…binders, paperclips, stale stereotypes…it’s been out of date for a long, long time

morgfair thoughts and prayers (in lower case)

morgfair Run your mouth, and sometimes what you chew up is your own ass.

Loved Dilbert. The artist has gotten unhinged.

Hasn’t been funny for at least a decade now

InspectorNerd That took long enough

I just saw his video rant and it was horrible. He should think before he speaks.

Not racial, racist

Should have happened a long time ago.

Complete nonsense. What does the drawing have to do with the personal life of its author? Following this logic, none, NO audiovisual work would be immune.

What he said was nothing new. People have always tried to get away from them if they could afford it. It makes no sense to let people who hate you make your food or be involved in your medical care. Just get away from them.
